Daria is compiling a portfolio™ to get into the art class that doesn't suck™

I gotta do all these things like a portrait and landscape and object studies...it's pretty...interesting to say the least because I have no idea what on earth I'm doing

Chacoal sketch of my hand

I like only this one

Daria's great advice: do not choose a puppy as the subject for an object study that you're supposed to do from real life. They wiggle and change position. A lot.

Figure drawing I guess? I don't know whether I should make it a still life or an object study I really am not sure what it fits under

You know that thing where professional artists are like 'I rely too much on drawing from reference. I need to obtain the skill of drawing from my head'

Yeah

I have the opposite problem.

At least if it's in my head I can make it look however I want. I can't do that for realism and it's irritating as heckfire

Anyway, I stole one of the pages from good-at-art sister's big newsprint figure drawing pads to do this and do you even understand how large this paper is

Look at my sketchbook in comparison

It is so large

Also, I had a great driving lesson with my dad today

...

I may have overcorrected on a turn and then confused the gas for the brake and accelerated us over the curb and then propelled us into a bush

I was doing fine up until that point

On the plus side, I now know how to change the tire on a car

K bye
